PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL DRAFT 8 Jan 04
WARNING:
Do not super-saturate the gas going to the patient. Super-saturation appears as excessive
condensation in the tubing, while some condensation droplets on the inner walls of the tubing
are normal. Failure to do so could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
Periodically measure blood gases to ensure proper levels of ventilation. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Always confirm the airway pressure relief valve setting before patient use. Failure to do so could
result in patient injury.
WARNING:
Prior to use, confirm that the oxygen/air blender control of the blended gas supply module is
correctly set. Failure to do so could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
Prior to use, confirm that the patient circuit contains all the parts needed. Failure to do so could
result in patient injury.
WARNING:
Ensure that the patient breathing circuit connections are secure and free of obstructions. Failure
to do so could result in patient injury.
WARNING:
Ensure gas supplies are clean and dry. Use Water/Trap filters in the supply lines if necessary.
Replace according to the manufacturer's labeling. Failure to do so could result in patient injury.
Securely fasten all hoses to fittings. Hand-tighten to avoid damaging the fittings. Failure to do so
could result in infant injury or equipment damage.
WARNING:
Do not place flow restrictions, such as flowmeters or valves, in the supply line. Failure to do so
could result in equipment damage or patient injury.
WARNING:
A one-way valve is installed at the Patient Outlet connection. This valve opens when pressure
in the hose delivering the gas to the patient falls below -0.4 kPa (-0.06 psi).
WARNING:
Do not use antistatic or electrically conductive hoses or tubing. Infant injury could occur.
